September Liberty

I started this quilt 4 years ago today, in a workshop by Karen Stone. Karen talked about her method for choosing fabrics for scrap quilts and we used one of her New York Beauty patterns, called Lady Liberty goes to Hawaii. The reason I remember the date is that I was choosing a selection of fabrics to bring to the class the night before, and, as it was the 1 year anniversary of 9/11, I found myself choosing a much more somber set of fabrics than usual. The class was fun, and I later expanded my palette so I was quite happy with the finished quilt.
